1. Tell me about a time you made a small change that made a big difference.
After Roe V. Wade got overturned, I held a book giveaway where our family donated 25 cents for each book to one of three places: Planned Parenthood, The Transgender Law Center, and a program that got books with LGBTQ+ characters to the readers who needed them. We also collected donations if people wanted to give.
Someone at that event gave me a sizable donation, and when I expressed I'd like to help more in the community, they shared opportunities for me to do that. Since that chance meeting we have become close friends, I've graduated to an admin of a group they are also an admin in, and I've made such a difference in my community. I'm so glad they came to my book giveaway. And I'm so glad I did it!
2. Do you get overwhelmed easily? What things send you to the edge?
I need to move my body and I need to have quiet time. If I haven't had enough of those, then noise starts sending me over the edge. Everything gets too loud and stale almost, and I need to go do one of those two things to feel better!
3. What do you like about the book you’re currently reading?
I'm reading about people leaving the Evangelical movement and it's fascinating. I have no direct experience with that so it's all new to me!
